When a colleague asks Dakota for help investigating a series of unexplained thefts, she jumps at the opportunity. What she doesn't expect is to land in a whirlwind of murder, mayhem, and a mystery that might take everything from her. Still reeling from the revelations about Hardy, Dakota wants to be anywhere but her bookstore. Escaping to another town seems like a great way to take a breather from her own crazy life, but when she arrives, Hardy is already investigating the theft allegations. While trying to avoid him, Dakota stumbles over a body lying in the business section. Unfortunately, this is normal for her these days, but this time the victim is someone from her past, and Dakota quickly realizes the thefts aren't ones of opportunity. The criminal is looking for something specific. It's only a matter of time before he realizes Dakota is the one who has it.
